Hello, I'm using mdadm 3.1.4 (built from source) and I have a /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf with the following: HOMEHOST Volume0 ARRAY /dev/md/imsm_container metadata=imsm UUID=... ARRAY /dev/md/Volume0 container=.... Member = 0 UUID=... And I can assemble the array on command line like so: mdadm -As. but, I am not too sure what I should do with the initramfs in order for the system to recognize that it should actually assemble the RAID when it boots. What I've done is the following: After I changed my /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, I did an update-initramfs -k all -u. I did a: zcat /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-28-generic | cpio -idv into a /tmp/initrd folder, but I didn't see a etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf under the /tmp/initrd folder that I created. I also restarted the server to see if I would be able to see /dev/md* that should be there if the RAID has been auto-assembled, but it didn't exist on startup. I had to assemble the array on the command-line...What am I missing?
